2004-2008 Mazda RX-8: 2006 RX-8 will not start.

Sat, 10 Aug 2024 19:09:45 -0700

2006 RX-8 will not start. Getting it to turnover but not firing. Replaced battery, plugs and starter and still not firing up. I am at a loss right now as to what to do. A mechanic told me to squirt oil into the spark plug wells and with the plugs out try to fire it up. Any help would be so greatly appreciated!

2004-2008 Mazda RX-8: Why won’t my car start?

Thu, 22 Dec 2022 23:08:13 -0700

I have a 2004 rx8 and the only time I’ve gotten it to start was after pouring transmission fluid into the crank case with a battery charger and jump box hooked up to the battery. Once it finally cranked it sounded like a !#^&@@ off lawnmower but when I left off of the throttle the car died. I’ve tested the battery and it’s fine. What should I do from here?
